Just had it rewired, so now it's basically a two pup guitar with the option to blend the middle pup in on any pup position. Gives me 6 options with all shades in between, only thing that still doesn't work is middle pup only. Sounds good and makes a very versatile guitar, especially since most...

So today I received my 'bird after waiting for five long weeks. Bought it second hand from Canada, it has been on Ebay several times, got a nice deal with the guy so I went for it. It can be viewed here: http://members.lycos.co.uk/tokaiguitars/tokaifb.htm Great guitar, more exclusive looking...

HA! I didn't see any set-neck, three pu, red Firebird VII in there! :P :P (What? ME envious? :o )

Anybody tried the kitchy wah by Danelectro that looks like a car? I think there's three different wah's in it and with my love for "things that looks silly" I might consider buying it if it's any good. :o

Congratulations! I know exactly how you feel. At the moment I'm waiting for a Tokai Firebird I bought from Canada (I WILL post the "verdict") and last night I just as well secured the most beautiful Lap steel I've ever seen at eBay. 70 year old, all mahogany, gold leaf ornamentation, perfect...

These two are only gathering dust at my place; "Guitar Gear", 1985 "The Guitar Player Book", 1979/83 Both published by Guitar Player Magazine Not very original, but if they're of any interest to you I'm sure we'll work out some kind of deal. Gregert

A friend of mine's got one of those, had it since the mid '80s. He's been offered some ridiculous amounts of money, women, dope, cars, whatever, for it by other bass players who's been recording in his studio over the years, but there's no way he's gonna part with that beauty. No way...

I love my POD. Simple as that. After playing with amps for over 25 years I ended up with a POD when it first came out. Partly because at that time I didn't do much livegigs, mostly studiowork so I bought one. Now it's all I take to the gigs,- POD, a couple of guitars and a few effects. Sound...

Just want to share a sunny little story, folks. As some of you may have noticed I've been on the search for a good Firebird that won't cost me an arm and a leg for a while. (See my "Tokai Firebird" thread). Out of frustration I mailed Tokai in Japan, and guess what? Less than 24 hours later they...

Funniest thing happened,- out of pure frustration I e-mailed Tokai in Japan regarding the production of Birds yesterday, and less than 24 hours later they actually mail me back! :o AND,- they confirm that they have been making Birds in Korea since '98 and still make them! To top it all they go...

Thanks Barry! It wasn't on the website, so I dropped them a mail.

Thanks for sharing your babbling. :) Yes, it is the same guitar. Guess I'll have to agree with you on the tuners, but as I've said in an earlier post, even Gibson makes them without the banjo tuners these days. It's only the reissues that has those. It's on eBay now, guess I'll just have to...

This is getting too complicated for me........ A wild guess is that TST means Tokai Strat and TTE Tokai Tele. Other than that,- I haven't got a clue. :-? Experts, where are you in this hour of darkness?!

Looking for a Firebird, I know Tokai made a handful of them sometimes in the late '90s. So far I've found one in Canada, I may get lucky with that one, but is there any others out there for sale? I really don't wanna go to Epiphone for one, I already own one and it's "okayish" but that's not...
